There's been dozens of feminism threads and because of the way they tend to degenerate into unintelligible drabble I more or less avoid them these days. Even still I must politely tell you that you are wrong.

I support you Morrow. I think it's good to focus on yourself. I wish more people would realize this, and that it's nearly impossible when you're constantly pursuing or maintaining a relationship. I wish you all the luck 
You too Jokeshopbeardbro

You know I was having a good 'ol think about this in the shower this evening. And it occurs to me that, once one begins to love oneself, you realise that you already do. The only difference between the relationship that you have with yourself and the relationship that you have with a partner is that you aren't ALWAYS with your partner.
I mean, when I thought about it, I do all the things with myself that I would do with a partner. I talk with myself, laugh with myself, sometimes argue with myself. I eat with myself, walk with myself, go on adventures with myself, take drugs with myself, and have sex with myself.
It reminded me of a poem my therapist once gave to me. I normally don't like poetry at all, but it was so fitting as it came at the time in my life when, after a session in the mirror on 2C-T-7, I first learned that I really like myself. That like shortly after developed into love, as I got to know me for who I really am:
The Man In The Glass When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day Just go to the mirror and look at yourself And see what that man has to say.
For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife Whose judgment upon you must pass The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass.
He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest For he’s with you, clear to the end And you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you’ve cheated the man in the glass. --Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr.
**Cue Alyssa, when she's back from her ban, coming in and telling us all how sexist and irrelevant this poem is, and how we should totally ignore it, because it was written by a man, and uses the word 'man', rather than 'woman'.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe
